Comin' Back to Me Lyrics
The winter looked the same, as if it never had gone
And through an open window where no curtain hung
I saw you, I saw you comin' back to me
The shape of sleepy music, and suddenly you're hooked
Through the rain upon the trees, the kisses on the run
I saw you, I saw you comin' back to me
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind
You always say you won't go away
But I know what it always has been, it always has been
Most of the time I just let it go by
Now I wish it hadn't begun
I saw you, yes, I saw you comin' back to me
I realized I've been there before
The shadow in the mist could have been anyone
I saw you, I saw you comin' back to me
Whatever happened to wishes wished upon a star?
Was it just something that I made up for fun?
I saw you, I saw you comin' back to me
Such a simple and beautiful song, full of melancholy and yearning for a long lost love.
for me this is just about thinking of a person and wherever you are you see them coming back to you, though the way the song is sang it kind of seems like they actually arent, its more u imagining it. "The summer had inhaled and held its breath to long" - the most beautiful line to start the song off!
Totally agreed about the line. It has to be one of my most very favorite lines in music! I also love "And through an open window, Where no curtain hung,i saw u coming back to me." Jefferson Airplane has to be one of the best bands in the world! the most beautiful lyrics and an uncomparable sound.
i agree w everything u've said...yes i luv the line about the window...what an amazing song..takes me to another world...another time....another place...

sounds to me like something has reminded the narrator of a love that left some time ago, and the memories are all flooding back after something triggered them. he is seeing this person coming back to him in his mind, because thats what he wants to see, even though he knows it isnt going to happen (the line "the shadow in the mist could have been anyone" tells us that there is no reason to believe this lover would be coming back.) a great, gloomy airplane song.
one of my favourite Airplane songs of all time!
Amazing song. I can't believe Airplane only have 4 or 5 songs with comments on them..
it's "comin' back to me"
i know only 5 songs have coments but hay we dont all have a thought on what there songs ment but hay we still love them all........well at least i do
Words and images that convey a feeling more than meaning of a love affair in a dream state. One of Marty Balin's best.
I think he just ended a relationship with someone he loves. Great song, full of emotion.
